Here's a video on it.

I use the well method, make a depression in a big pile of semolina flour, then I add two eggs and slowly incorporate the flour into the eggs.
When the dough is formed, I need it by hand five minutes before I wrap it in plastic and put it in the fridge to rest.
It takes about 1 minute to cook fresh pasta dough. Drop it in boiling water and when it floats, it's done.
I usually don't go beyond 5 on my dough roller. I use a kitchenaid attachment that makes rolling pasta dough a snap.
Bought a pasta rack, when it gets here, I'm going to make a big batch then freeze it.

I wish I had the tools to make it. It's so much better than dried.
P.S. knead

I like making homemade pasta dough too but I need to learn how to make it with wheat flour now. I can't be eating all that white flour, the eggs are bad enough carbs as it is.
Silver
I found this recipe that doesn't use eggs - I might try it out.

Preparation Time : : 10 mins.
Serves 4.
Ingredients
1/2 cup plain flour (maida)
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
4 tablespoons olive oil or oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
How to proceed
1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and knead into a very firm but smooth dough using very little water.
2. Rest the dough under a wet muslin cloth for 15 minutes and use as requried.
Tips
FLAVOURED PASTA DOUGH : Flavour fresh pasta dough by adding any of the following ingredients to the above recipe :-
1 tablepsoon mixed herbs (parsley, thyme, oregano, chilli flakes)
1 tablespoon crushed peppercorns
1 tablespoon garlic paste
8 to 10 saffron strands, rubbed in 1 tablespoon of warm milk.

For lasagne, the pasta should be rolled to suit the size of the serving dish.
For fettuccine, the pasta sheet should be rolled and cut into 6 mm. (1/4") strips

1 egg 1 cup of flour a pinch of salt, pinch of garlic powder and an eggshell of water
mix together and drop by 1/2 teaspoons into any boiling broth (they really swell when cooking)when they float they are done.
I love it in chicken soup in place of noodles. This is a recipe passed down to me from my german grandmother they have a name but for the life of me I cant think of it now lol

Are you allergic to wheat? One of the guys I work with is but not bad enough that he has to watch everything he eats, just has to be a little careful.

When I eat wheat, I'll get really dark circles around my eyes. I just need to be careful and watch what I eat. My son on the other hand is little worse off. I hope he grows out of it. So we are trying to keep a really clean diet right now.
